Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - GRAND FINAL vs. Brisbane MCG, 2:30pm Sat 30/09

[KinderSmock]

very interesting analysis by King on SEN this morning.
In our recent games ( last 10) McStay has been the most efficient fwd 50 target in the game.
Of the 30 occasions he's been targeted 50% have resulted in Goals.
Clearly he either marks, holds off opponents with his size and/or creates a spill.

This tells me he needs to be replaced with a big body, who can't be outsized, and force a spill when a mark is not possible.

A small fwd line is not going to cut it.

Also said that during finals Cox has had 13 HTA ( on par with Big O) and Cameron just 3.

A big statistic that says we should be looking for another ruck over the off-season if we want to play two rucks.

I actually see sense in having an interest in Goldstein. If Goldstein was playing for us this week, he would smash McInnerny and also provide the type of target that McStay provides

How old is he? I hear we have approached him.

Not good. Glad no Stephens or Rosebury

Let's not worry about the umpires. Nit relevant to the outcome of the game

Sounds like Adams is close enough and definitely not in Sam Reid

Nits could be relevant with some of the hairstyles we have running around.

Where does this information come from? Is it worth the risk?

 

[JuniorB]

Nick will be better for the run he had on Friday - he only had 28 disposals, 6 clearances and 520 metres gained.

Matty Lloyd had him as second best on ground for us . He’s very positive when talking about us, has been all season

 

[Kirby]

If Wade declares Adams fit then I would 100% back the decision.

Wade is going to get Tay to tow an 18 wheeler tomorrow.

Lloyd speaks the most sense of anyone on FC. Admittedly that's not hard but he usually just spits facts & is the most logical, imo.

 

[Mick F]

That certainly could happen.

An alternative scenario is that he plays well, crashes packs, grabs some marks and kicks a couple of goals.

Worry about losing his drive in the middle.

Only if Dunkley is thrashing him.

As I do the maths, I can see Ginni missing out. If we worry about under done players, well he's played bugger all in the last3 weeks. Especially if adams comes in. It's impossible to work out but ginni is going to be very unlucky

 

[Axl the great]

Second half of the year there been too much bombing not enough lowering of the eyes.
I’d be bringing in Noble and that’s it.
Go smaller in the F50 start Ginnivan as well.
Yes we are winning and deserve to be there but in all honesty we are a lot more “gettable” now than what we were.

 

[JuniorB]

Pretty impressive, considering it's the first game he's played in about 7 weeks.
It just underlines what a star he is.

Out B grade celebs, in Fly’s wife

 

[Mick F]

Brisbane have won their last six games against us - 4 at the Gabba & 2 at Marvel.
Playing at the G is a different thing entirely, and far better suited to our game style.

Whether it is described as soft, lazy or gutless it is in effect the same shortcoming. Don’t just assume it will rectify itself, under intense pressure.

On the other side of the coin - courage is contagious.
